Custom sewing and Alterations

From prom to everyday wear, I offer quality alterations with your budget in mind. I’ll always try to suggest options that save money and extend the life of your clothing. For example, with kids’ clothes, I often leave extra fabric in the hem or seams to allow room for growth.

All genders, body shapes and sizes welcome.   Inclusive and affirming — everyone is welcome here.

• Basic pant hem (machine): $10
• Euro hem on jeans (original hem): $15
• Suit jacket sleeve shortening (conditions apply): $35
• Suit pant hem (blind hem, machine): $10
• Dress hem (single layer): starting at $45 (depending on skirt width)

Fittings are by appointment only and take place in my home in Stittsville, ON. The exact address will be provided upon booking.

Regular appointment times:

• Saturday & Sunday mornings
• Monday evenings

If those times don’t work, feel free to reach out—I can usually accommodate.

• I do not alter wedding dresses.
• Be cautious with low-cost garments ordered directly from overseas—they’re often difficult or impossible to alter, which can increase costs or make alterations unfeasible.
• If possible, prewash and dry garments before your fitting.
• For fittings, bring the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear with the outfit—especially for dresses or pants.
